- General improvements:
. Added generators and coroutines (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/generators).
(Nikita Popov)
. Added "finally" keyword (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/finally). (Laruence)
. Added simplified password hashing API
(https://wiki.php.net/rfc/password_hash). (Anthony Ferrara)
. Added systemtap support by enabling systemtap compatible dtrace probes on
linux. (David Soria Parra)
. Added support for list in foreach (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/foreachlist).
(Laruence)
. Added support for using empty() on the result of function calls and
other expressions (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/empty_isset_exprs).
(Nikita Popov)

. Improved set_exception_handler while doing reset.(Laruence)
. Removed php_logo_guid(), php_egg_logo_guid(), php_real_logo_guid(),
zend_logo_guid(). (Adnrew Faulds)
. Dropped support for Windows XP and 2003. (Pierre)
. Optimized access to temporary and compiled VM variables. 8% less memory
reads. (Dmitry)
. The VM stacks for passing function arguments and syntaticaly nested calls
were merged into a single stack. The stack size needed for op_array
execution is calculated at compile time and preallocated at once. As result
all the stack push operatins don't require checks for stack overflow
any more. (Dmitry)

- Hash
. Added support for PBKDF2 via hash_pbkdf2(). (Anthony Ferrara)
- Intl
. The intl extension now requires ICU 4.0+.
. Added intl.use_exceptions INI directive, which controls what happens when
global errors are set together with intl.error_level. (Gustavo)
. MessageFormatter::format() and related functions now accepted named
arguments and mixed numeric/named arguments in ICU 4.8+. (Gustavo)
. MessageFormatter::format() and related functions now don't error out when
an insufficient argument count is provided. Instead, the placeholders will
remain unsubstituted. (Gustavo)
. MessageFormatter::parse() and MessageFormat::format() (and their static
equivalents) don't throw away better than second precision in the arguments.
(Gustavo)
. IntlDateFormatter::__construct and datefmt_create() now accept for the
$timezone argument time zone identifiers, IntlTimeZone objects, DateTimeZone
objects and NULL. (Gustavo)
. IntlDateFormatter::__construct and datefmt_create() no longer accept invalid
timezone identifiers or empty strings. (Gustavo)
. The default time zone used in IntlDateFormatter::__construct and
datefmt_create() (when the corresponding argument is not passed or NULL is
passed) is now the one given by date_default_timezone_get(), not the
default ICU time zone. (Gustavo)
. The time zone passed to the IntlDateFormatter is ignored if it is NULL and
if the calendar passed is an IntlCalendar object -- in this case, the
IntlCalendar's time zone will be used instead. Otherwise, the time zone
specified in the $timezone argument is used instead. This does not affect
old code, as IntlCalendar was introduced in this version. (Gustavo)
. IntlDateFormatter::__construct and datefmt_create() now accept for the
$calendar argument also IntlCalendar objects. (Gustavo)
. IntlDateFormatter::getCalendar() and datefmt_get_calendar() return false
if the IntlDateFormatter was set up with an IntlCalendar instead of the
constants IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN/TRADITIONAL. IntlCalendar did not
exist before this version. (Gustavo)
. IntlDateFormatter::setCalendar() and datefmt_set_calendar() now also accept
an IntlCalendar object, in which case its time zone is taken. Passing a
constant is still allowed, and still keeps the time zone. (Gustavo)
. IntlDateFormatter::setTimeZoneID() and datefmt_set_timezone_id() are
deprecated. Use IntlDateFormatter::setTimeZone() or datefmt_set_timezone()
instead. (Gustavo)
. IntlDateFormatter::format() and datefmt_format() now also accept an
IntlCalendar object for formatting. (Gustavo)
. Added the classes: IntlCalendar, IntlGregorianCalendar, IntlTimeZone,
IntlBreakIterator, IntlRuleBasedBreakIterator and
IntlCodePointBreakIterator. (Gustavo)
. Added the functions: intlcal_get_keyword_values_for_locale(),
intlcal_get_now(), intlcal_get_available_locales(), intlcal_get(),
intlcal_get_time(), intlcal_set_time(), intlcal_add(),
intlcal_set_time_zone(), intlcal_after(), intlcal_before(), intlcal_set(),
intlcal_roll(), intlcal_clear(), intlcal_field_difference(),
intlcal_get_actual_maximum(), intlcal_get_actual_minimum(),
intlcal_get_day_of_week_type(), intlcal_get_first_day_of_week(),
intlcal_get_greatest_minimum(), intlcal_get_least_maximum(),
intlcal_get_locale(), intlcal_get_maximum(),
intlcal_get_minimal_days_in_first_week(), intlcal_get_minimum(),
intlcal_get_time_zone(), intlcal_get_type(),
intlcal_get_weekend_transition(), intlcal_in_daylight_time(),
intlcal_is_equivalent_to(), intlcal_is_lenient(), intlcal_is_set(),
intlcal_is_weekend(), intlcal_set_first_day_of_week(),
intlcal_set_lenient(), intlcal_equals(),
intlcal_get_repeated_wall_time_option(),
intlcal_get_skipped_wall_time_option(),
intlcal_set_repeated_wall_time_option(),
intlcal_set_skipped_wall_time_option(), intlcal_from_date_time(),
intlcal_to_date_time(), intlcal_get_error_code(),
intlcal_get_error_message(), intlgregcal_create_instance(),
intlgregcal_set_gregorian_change(), intlgregcal_get_gregorian_change() and
intlgregcal_is_leap_year(). (Gustavo)
. Added the functions: intltz_create_time_zone(), intltz_create_default(),
intltz_get_id(), intltz_get_gmt(), intltz_get_unknown(),
intltz_create_enumeration(), intltz_count_equivalent_ids(),
intltz_create_time_zone_id_enumeration(), intltz_get_canonical_id(),
intltz_get_region(), intltz_get_tz_data_version(),
intltz_get_equivalent_id(), intltz_use_daylight_time(), intltz_get_offset(),
intltz_get_raw_offset(), intltz_has_same_rules(), intltz_get_display_name(),
intltz_get_dst_savings(), intltz_from_date_time_zone(),
intltz_to_date_time_zone(), intltz_get_error_code(),
intltz_get_error_message(). (Gustavo)
. Added the methods: IntlDateFormatter::formatObject(),
IntlDateFormatter::getCalendarObject(), IntlDateFormatter::getTimeZone(),
IntlDateFormatter::setTimeZone(). (Gustavo)
. Added the functions: datefmt_format_object(), datefmt_get_calendar_object(),
datefmt_get_timezone(), datefmt_set_timezone(),
datefmt_get_calendar_object(), intlcal_create_instance(). (Gustavo)

- MySQL
. This extension is now deprecated, and deprecation warnings will be generated
